Send In The Clowns

We are still in the first 100 days...wasn't it just a month yesterday? How time flies. The press conference was interesting to say the least. It's not the kind of thing you want to see alone, don't let the kids watch it. It does answer one important question: How much manure can one bull sling?

Quite a bit.

But it appears the old bull has lost some of his momentum . He's been spinning in circles for a month and getting bogged deeper and deeper in the -- mud -- he's churned up. But the old bull is spinning himself into a corner, and Uncle Sam might be in trouble.

Count on the folks from the alphabet soup agencies to continue to investigate just how deep the ties are between our old bull and Mother Russia. Think of them as the rodeo clowns - who are also know as bullfighters. These are the guys who jump in when the bull-rider is thrown and is about to get two feet of horn where the sun never shines.

This is just the first month of a four year ride. Luckily, Congress has yet to lose it's lethargy and make any moves - they've been bingeing on hate for so long they can barely twitch a limb. It must be like one long Thanksgiving for the GOP -- feasting on the carcass of their victory only to find they can't stand up any more.

Lazy vultures.

Without a Democrat to kick around, the bloated GOP is unable to function. They've been the opposition for so long that now their collective spine has become (cranberry) jelly.

Of course there is an exception - John McCain - pickup rider for this long rodeo event. He's back in the saddle and is swinging a catch rope to throw a loop over the old bull if need be. He can afford to make himself a target as long as the bullfighters are doing the close work. His job is to scoop up Uncle Sam if he stays on until the buzzer.
